FALL MOVIE EVENT

The God Image: Antiquity to Jung

,a Lecture with  LionelCorbett, film provided by Jung Society of  Washington, with permission.* 

                               

Corbett conveys Jung’s teaching that a new God-image is emerging alongside our  traditional images of the divine. The Self, an innate God-image, exists in the psyche, and  allows a personal connection to the sacred. Images of the Self have particular qualities,  e.g., mysterious, fascinating, awesome, dreadful, and uncanny; they point to wholeness  and completion. Not only do Jung’s ideas bypass difficulties in traditional teachings  (e.g., how a God of Absolute Goodness can be reconciled with evil and suffering in the  world), but personal numinous experience is transformative.

Bridge to the Unconscious: Dreamwork for

Therapeutic andPersonal Growth 

with  Arlo Compaan, PH.D., Jungian Analyst 

Jung believed that attending to dreams was one of the better ways to expand consciousness and especially  useful for the discovery of shadow material. Dreams are bridges between our personal consciousness and the  unconscious. After a brief overview of the Jungian understanding of psyche--the dynamics of mental, emotional,  and spiritual life --we will consider the soul’s search for meaning, the archetypal push toward wholeness, and  the ego’s preferences for stability, consistency, and order. Then we will focus on the dreams that have us in the  night and how to make meaning out of our experience of them. This is often a challenge because dreams speak in  symbols, images, and pictures.  

We will explore ways to: 

 Move the symbolic image into conscious meaning  

 Channel the archetypal energy into conscious life, and  

 Embody the emotion of the images 

In this way, dreams can bring about a transformation of consciousness. We will also consider 3 types  of dreams, whether the dream speaks subjectively and/or objectively, and how the dream may illuminate the  progress or difficulties in the therapy relationship (the transference and countertransference). As we do this, we  will engage some small group work to come alive! 

  

Arlo Compaan, Ph.D., is a Jungian  psychoanalyst and a licensed clinical  psychologist. He is a diplomate member  of the International Association for  Analytical Psychology, a member  of the American Psychological  Association, a former fellow in the  American Association of Pastoral  Counselors and a former clinical  member and approved supervisor in the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists at Claremont, CA. From 2013 to 2017 he was the Director of training for the Analyst Training Program at the C. G.  Jung Institute of Chicago, where he also served as a co-director for  the Jungian Psychotherapy and Jungian Studies Programs. His clinical  interest is in the treatment of trauma and the dynamics of shame and  shamelessness. He has presented papers on this topic in the US and  internationally. He maintains a limited, virtual clinical practice of  analysis and supervision from his home in Frankfort, Il.

Dream Tending

with Stephen Aizenstat

EVERY ONE OF US DREAMS…EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.

Stephen Aizenstat's groundbreaking DreamTending DVD is an invaluable resource. Dr. Aizenstat's innovative and deeply humanistic approach takes viewers deep into the mysteries their own dream life, revealing a vast untapped source of meaning, tenderness, and understanding. This documentary-style film is enhanced by rare on-camera interviews with Robert Johnson, James Hillman, Marion Woodman, and Michael Meade. In addition, it features a wealth of rich, mythic images that illuminate Dr. Aizenstat's compelling narrative. It is a film filled with ideas, nuance, and valuable information -- all of which become revealed more fully with repeated viewing.
